Target not available

[Bobb]

Hi I'm new to freefilesynch so trying to get my head around it. I'm thinking of using a schedule task or real time synching to create and maintain a mirror disc. What I'd like to know is what happens if the target is not available, ie away from home and network drive is not accessible

FFS will fail to sync and won't do anything

Ok understand that so will it then try again either at next schedule or after a new change and still synch the files it couldn't synch before

If RTS is set to monitor it, RTS will simply wait until the location becomes available again
If using Task Scheduler, it will trigger a FFS sync, but that will error out since the location isn't available. When you set up the task, you determine when it will attempt another sync
